What is your source for Riihimäki ?
I can't find much on Jussis Glass - but according to this list of Finnish glass makers it is situated in Maarianhamina - which is quite some distance from Riihimäki.
BTW - your bird is also depicted in the Bridges-Nichols Collection (concentrating in Toikka birds).

Hi Wuff!!
Wow, what a wonderful list of makers, I have saved it for future reference... and I was pleased to see how many of the Glass Studios I knew of and even had glass from!! Thanks for that.
My bird is signed Jussis Glas Riihimäki... in the underside, as well as the label, so I wonder if the Studio moved at sometime??
Iif you put Jussis Glas into Google you do get several of these birds come up with the Riihimäki location next to the signature.
There is a Jussis Glas bird on eBay at the moment with Riihimäki signed on the base, very like one of mine.Have a look, I would be interested to know what you think.

The Bridges-Nichols Collection does say that this bird (like Michelle's) is often mistaken for Oiva Toikka, but that it is not one of his.
